Prospective associations between major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
The cross-time associations between ME/CFS, MDD, and GAD appear bidirectional (causal in both directions). Our results are consistent with, but not demonstrative of, a causal relationship from FM to MDD. The consequences of specific FDs vary, underscoring the value of studying these conditions as distinct constructs.
